Morning Malcolm ,
its interesting what you say about TV AD breaks now being allowed able to be longer . I had not heard that before and it explains alot . I was thinking I was going senile. Adverts seemed to be very short at times and excruciatingly long at others ………. infact so long its like being in a never ending car crash where time goes slowly , frame by frame. Especially on Freeview channels !
